On Friday morning, the sun was shining so nicely that Lori told me to go to the nearby park Little Qualicum Falls for the morning. I gladly put on my hikikg shoes and jumped into the car. Impressing me when it comes to waterfalls is not easy, considering the first waterfall I ever saw wasContinue reading “Chapter 168: Little Qualicum Falls”

I saw the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. It’s been going on for so long, I can’t remember which season it’s on. Eighth maybe? Well, anyway, I’m a firm believer of guilty pleasures. I’m certain that everyone has atleast one thing that they love either watching, listening to or why not eating, that they’d ratherContinue reading “Chapter 167: The thing about drama”

These chocolate cups filled with peanut butter are sinfully delicious. There’s something with the mix of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter that is just mouth watering. Both Mr. P and I agree on that. Being a real cosmopolitan, Mr. P doesn’t see the point with buying a bag of candy just because it’s calledContinue reading “Chapter 166: Mr. P has some Canadian candy”

But there aren’t only birds at Whiskey Creek Farm. There is a dog, a cat and a horse. But, in addition to them, there are also some reptiles. In the pond, there’s a turtle living. He likes to come out of the water to enjoy the sun i. The afternoons, but the second the realisesContinue reading “Chapter 165: The other animals”

Tuesday is cheap movie day here in Canada. So, to round off our shopping trip to Nanaimo, Lori treated me to a visit at the movie theater. We saw “The Avengers”, 3D. It’s an impressive movie, mostly maybe because it’s got most of the superhero stars of the recent years starring in the same film.Continue reading “Chapter 164: The ultimate superhero movie”

Mr. P continued searching for someone to bond with. This bony fellow turned out to be a lot easier to hang out with than the uninterested chicks. That might say something about Mr. P’s social skills.

Friday: Today, Lori told me to just goof around. So I went to Little Qualicum Falls and sat in the morning sun, smelling the humid air and listening to a podcast about the drug politics in Portugal (they’ve de-criminalized drug use there, did you know that?). I also baked three pies: an apple, a cherryContinue reading “Chapter 162: Goofy day”

With a background as a pastry chef, Lori knows a lot about baking. And since there are few things I love more than baking, I made her teach me how to make a real Canadian apple pie. It is quite different from Swedish apple pies. Half of the fat in the recipe should be lard,Continue reading “Chapter 161: Baking my first real Canadian apple pie”

Canadians love to supersize their stuff. Big cars, big houses, big burgers, big malls. And, of course, huge supermarkets. They are so big, that they don’t fit into the cities. As a carless tourist, finding a grocery store in the cities is a real challange. Most Canadians seem to prefer to take their car toContinue reading “Chapter 160: Shopping at Cosco”

Last Friday, Lori’s friend Dave took both of us to a concert at the hall in nearby Errington. I didn’t really know what to expect, Dave had said that it was some kind of reggae-world music and that there would probably be dancing. I tagged along just because I thought it could be interesting toContinue reading “Chapter 159: The Boom Booms”
